Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal
Lavonte M. Price appeals the judgment convicting him of one count of robbery with the threat of force, contrary to Wis. Stat. § 943.32(1)(b) (2011-12), and one count of attempted robbery as party to a crime, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 943.32(1)(a), 939.32, & 939.05 (2011-12).[1] He also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion.[2] On appeal, Price argues that his guilty pleas were involuntary and his convictions must be reversed because the trial court impermissibly participated in plea negotiations. We disagree and affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
